OpenAI cancels the Pro cut due tomorrow and doubles Codex allowances instead
OpenAI reversed a reduction that would have halved Codex and ChatGPT Work usage for $200-a-month Pro subscribers starting Friday. Codex lead Thibault Sottiaux posted that OpenAI is "doubling all usage limits for all Pro 100/200/500 tiers and Business Premium, effective today" C.
OpenAI's help pages describe the change more narrowly than the post: the Work and Codex allowance doubles on Pro 100 and Pro 500, Pro 200 subscribers move to the higher allowance, and weekly GPT-6 Pro message limits in Chat stay where they were. Prices do not change C.
The cut was announced a month ago, with efficiency gains as the reason and a one-time credit grant to soften it. Reversing it the day before it took effect, in a week when Anthropic launched spending controls for companies and GitHub said it routes work to cheaper models, says coding-agent allowances are now something the labs compete on.
